Here is the post for the Daily Leo Talk. In preparation for the upcoming Microblogging features, this is a good place to start conversations, posts charts, memes, trades, or anything else that comes to mind.
Let us boost our overall numbers by posting lots of comments throughout the day. Spread the word to get others involved.
It is a great way to stimulate engagement.

The big Leo news yesterday was the update from @leofinance. The CubFinance will take place on Monday. We will see CUB and bLEO released at the same time.
One piece that is new is that the smart contract code is being audited. This means it is a new contract (or a fork of another) as opposed to using an existing platform.
It does appear CubFinance is a brank new platform being established.
https://leofinance.io/@leofinance/we-interrupt-this-launch-day
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I probably won't participate. Is LBI planning to enter these pools? I know it has been saving up LEO and should get sizable airdrop. I wonder how the new platform will work out.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think it is. We still dont have details so we will have to see what transpires. That said, there is over 4K liquid LEO along with the CUB that gets dropped to LBI. This might be able to enable LBI to enter in a rather large way.
@silverstackeruk is well versed in that DeFi stuff. He has been in pools on Ethereum and Tron. SPInvest was involved in one on Tron and made a couple thousand dollars off it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Sounds good. Looks like our investment should be in good hands and the amount of LEO available should net quite a bit of returns even if we include the fees.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think it is. @silverstackeruk is good about keeping an eye on that stuff and playing with the return. As soon as it turns against us, he bails. He doesnt go gambler on things. Instead, he seeks a steady return, even if it is high.
The fees, from what I understand, on BSC, are minimal; usually under a dollar per transaction.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Are you also unfamiliar with the BSC Task? Well, the important thing is that on Monday or even earlier we may have tutorials to guide us.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I do not know it at all. In fact, the US is banned from using it so will have to figure out how to access it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah I guess this post explains that LBI will enter into it -
https://leofinance.io/@lbi-token/lbi-bags-are-packed-we-re-ready-for-liftoff
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Need more info on what is needed to participate into it, as I would not sell any Leo and Hive for pooling. 8th of March will be definitely interesting.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I also want to enter slowly and understand what I'm doing because everything from DeFi will be something new for me. I know it's not a seven-headed bug, but maybe it's 3 lol ...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I also see it this way, CubFinance will be a new platform and will have its own services and it will be interesting to see how it will be done with safes, loans and other things. It will be a new world that we are used to with Leofinance.io.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Have you done anything on Binance Smart Chain yet? Have you used it?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No Task, I don't know anything yet and I hope that tomorrow I will take the time to watch some videos that even indicated me in Portuguese. It will all be new to me.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Another day of @leomarkettalk.
Crossed the 200 comment level yesterday. We will see what the numbers look like when @amr008 posts the table.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
We will try to overcome the 200 of yesterday. Is the crowd a little discouraged with so much waiting? Haha ha...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Let's see, as today it shall be definitely higher, as there is the weekend and people have more time for being active in here, at least I have.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't think there is too much difference between the weekends but I haven't checked the data. Maybe @amr008 can tell us if there is any difference.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think in the weekends shall be more comments. At least for me, I'm doing most of mine during the weekends, when the work computer is turned off.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think most are the opposite. They engage in activities like this when at work. LOL
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well I just ran the numbers and actually there is a difference - the weekends see less activity when compared to other days .
The best day every single week which sees highest activity is Monday .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Then should we aim for 400 on Monday? It doesn't bode well for today.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Start a campaign for a 400 comment Monday.
Get that idea in people's minds.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Given the statistics, it would be the best day to achieve 400 as we would most likely have the most people.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Definitely . If we just hit 250-300 on a Monday then we are less on activity .
We have to reach 400+ on Monday to stay at the same level as last week.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's me, a weekend warrior. It has been so hard to keep up during the week for me. I will have to make up for it on the weekends. It doesn't look too hard right now, I think we hit a slow spot.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Same in here, at work I give my best and avoid distractions, else it is a mess. Weekend warrior is a good name to remember. Thanks for this.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
We all have our place.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Same here... weekdays have been hectic due to work. Week after week I say to myself it's gonna get easier but it only gets harder hehehe
At least now we have a weekend to relax and spend a lot of time on Leo
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That 300 mark is pretty tough to get back to. I know we passed it once but I wonder if we can get to 400 before Project Blank takes off.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I wonder if the high mark days coincide with new project news days? Might just see a spike on Monday when this all starts to roll out.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am not sure but maybe the announcement will have a few people check in during the day. However, I don't think it will change the numbers by too much.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It would be interesting to find out but I wouldnt think so. We only had a few high mark days and they seem to be random.
Actually, we get an idea of how the numbers will be by the time we go to bed in the EST.
I think on the high market days, we cross 100 before we hit the sack in this time zone.
When the numbers are down, we struggle to get passed 40 or 50.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It is going to take a few more people being as active as we are.
That is the only way I see it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I hope we can get some more new users to come in and start commenting. A few of them showed up for a few days then disappeared.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's the biggest hurdle to success for users on Hive . They aren't consistent , I don't expect them to be for 18 hours a day but they can spend minimum of 15-30 minutes atleast.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's the problem with me and posting. Pick a subject, do some research and then tinker until it reads well. Then I let it sit in case something else comes to me, only then do I publish.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Doing research is vital. I fail to understand with technology today why people are not expert (or at least adept) on some subjects. The knowledge is right there, a few clicks away.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
A lack of consistency is the biggest problem in life for people. They show up occasionally and wonder why they do not have success.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think it's better if we see 2 days ago data today because as I have observed we are getting 30-40 comments for day before yesterday's post every single day . It's because people hop on and reply to their comments so .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Is it possible to get data on the timeframe when the majority of the comments are posted?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hey I post it everyday in the stats comment here -
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Ohh my bad, I must have missed that part
Thanks!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It's alright , let me know if you think we can add any more data . I will find a way to add them :)
As far as stats comment is concerned it is only becoming a big post lol but I am loving it . It is a good practice for me .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I guess Leofinance post took away our comments, people were engaging there :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lol yeah you can say that .
We usually post the highlight / important links on Hive over here so that we can read there and engage here actually lol.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I had to upload the crypto meme of the day with peaked because Leo Finance didn't let me
What do you think about all those bridges to other blockchains ?
I think it is a great idea. Interoperability is something that is missing. For Leo to branch out and try to derive value from other blockchains, that is smart. Might as well tap into other networks.
Hopefully it will be a feeder system for something like Blank. Have one area focusing upon a target market knowing that many of those people are interested in other stuff. This is where I see something like BSC focusing upon DeFi but used to promote Leofinance and Blank.
These all could be feeder systems into something much bigger.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I knew you would love the idea, I even sad it in the comment on the yesterday's announcement of announcement post :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That said, I still wish blank was out instead.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I feel you pain :) but until it has an actual name there's not much we can do
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah I think it is a mistake not to release the name and url. Unless there is some legal reason, it would be great to get the name out there and start producing bank links.
We could already be pre-paving the way for blank if we had the name.
You could be creating dozens of memes lol
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
@taskmaster4450le the projectblank was a project that many people are looking forward to because they believe that the projectblank is an innovative idea that will bring alot of positive developments to the LEO as a whole...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
By the way, I cant wait to see the memes you create for Blank.
You can be our meme creator for our marketing project. We need to get the word out and this will be a great way to do it.
We will enlist all the troops we can.
Once we have the name we can get started.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thank you for the kind words :) they mean a lot. I need to work on my image editing skills then, that's the only thing holding me back when creating memes. My imagination is 10x better than what I can actually make.
I'm also eagerly waiting for project blank to get a name, blank jokes/memes got old kinda fast.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Bridges are always nice. The best way to attract someone is with by leading it with something they are interested in. For example if you like games, then you are more likely to test out HIVE if I recommend a game like Splinterlands.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Definitely agree, I wish I was younger and had more time because now I don't have the same enthusiasm and willingness to play games :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think are always nice and any age can play. They will always be waiting for you when you do free up some more time.

Yahoo Finance
Google's new privacy policy for Chrome won't stop targeted ads
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/googles-new-privacy-policy-for-chrome-wont-stop-targeted-ads-223724067.html
That's not a big surprise, you can't even talk about things anymore. Have you ever had a conversation about something off the wall and then you get an advertisement about it?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Of course they won't. They want the money from ads as it helps them subsidize their projects where they lose money. I think once we had a smart phone, we lost the right to privacy because they know exactly where we are at any point in the day.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Amazon has admitted that their employees can listen to Alexa recordings:
Retail stores use Bluetooth beacons to provide you with targeted ads. Here's an informative article on retail beacon tracking.
If I go to Walmart and stand near Gillette razors with my phone, I'll see a Gillette ad when I get home. Use plastic to purchase something? Banks sell your purchase history, your ISP and most free VPN services sell your browsing history. Knowledge is power.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is very disturbing, I guess I better find a good one that I pay for. It's starting to look like it's worth the money to get a little more privacy back.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
None of that is surprising.
Surveillance capitalism is a big thing. That is what we have used AI for: tracking people and killing them.
That is why I keep monitoring SingularityNet as a project. I dont hold the token but do believe it a very important project. Decentralizing AI is vital.
We need to do all we can to break the hold that these entities have over society.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah they know before you do what you want.
Some would call that programming.

Thanks for this! I try to link as much as I can leofinance to the posts and comments that I hit out.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
LOL well dont make your posts nothing but links.
Put some substance in there.

Juct can't wait for the final microblogging features.. Let's keep it going guys.. Eyes on the prize.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I'm more curious about the token market value, let's see how much dumping is going to be the first few days. The app will be great, I'm sure of that.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This is something I will be paying close attention to, I like to buy when people dump and increase my holdings and influence on the project. I was buying Leo when people were dumping it, now I wish I would have even got more back then.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hindsight.
We all wish we did the same thing. Even though I loaded up, could have gotten more, yet didnt.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That will be each person's LEO holding in USD down the road.
LEO on the way to $10, maybe sooner rather than later.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
And that's the greatest opportunity for long term believers . The non-believers dump and we pick it up at cheap price .
After 1 year they cry because they didn't hold on to it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well they arent crying after 1 year of Hive since the HIVE token is actually below where it was the first couple weeks after the fork.
Nevertheless, you point if valid. Eventually HIVE will catch up. In the meantime, we are dealing with LEO and the assorted attributes of that.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes regarding Hive the people are not worried that much because it is not doing well but I am sure we will listen to all the whining once we see Hive reach 2$ or 3$ which I personally believe will be achievable by 2022 Jan.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is a good guess although I think it can be sooner. The interruption of 3Speak is a bit of a concern since that might delay the release of their stuff. Since I think that is also vital to helping Leo to raise the HIVE price, a setback will slow things down.
That said, I still think we can see the summer with multi-dollar on HIVE. We need to hit the ground running with blank, that is going to be a big one.
We need to get 50K-75K on there in the first few months. If we can do that, we will be flying.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You mean users ?
Noise.cash hit 50k users in their first month . So given that we already have a strong userbase , it shouldn't be hard for us to hit 50k .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You speak for all of us. We are all awaiting the release of that application.
It is trying our patience and has been for weeks. LOL
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Patience is a virtue ...
I believe that all this waiting time will be very well rewarded for us. Let's wait.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Let's wait?
We have no choice. LOL
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hahahahaha ... thinking about this point you are right, but there is little left ...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The delays keep coming, but I prefer a more refined product so its worth the wait. The last thing we need is a buggy interface that turns away new users.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You just spoke for everyone here . I can't and I am sure nobody here can wait any longer .
We here at @leomarkettalk is ready for microblogging more than anyone else.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think we can add in @nathanmars to that also.
He is ready.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh yes definitely . He is one among us :)
I wish there was a easy way to post to twitter from here .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
LOL that would be a mess. Blank will be much better because it is designed for that. It is actually being set up as a front end also for twitter.
The goal is to eventually overtake twitter. That is why, the day it is released, we have to go nuts with it. Get the name out (and link) out there as much as possible. Every social media site needs to be hit up.
I was thinking about putting together a simple email/commenting campaign that we all can engage in.
What are your thoughts on that?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
We can definitely do this . We can create a dedicated post for that ( maybe you should do it because of greater visibility ) and ask people to post twitter links , fb links , reddit links in the comments to that post in which they are promoting the #projectblank. We shall provide the hashtag for them to use .
We can reward them with not only upvotes but maybe 25 LEO or LBI prize too ( not to all , maybe like a lottery in which we shall pick 4 winners or 5 winners ) .
The more social media they share on , the higher their chances to win the prize .
We can form 3-4 members and check the links and leave a simple message like "approved" so that I can run the script to get the approved authors links etc.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This is a great idea, I have no social media followers outside of Hive but I definitely can help in other ways.
I would be more than happy to add some Leo to the prize pool. We could get it up way more with a little push.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
LOL even more expansive than I envisioned.
Fortunately, it looks like we have a few weeks do this. I think emailing those who are at risk of being displaced by social media is a great starting point. By emailing, I mean go to their blogs and leave a comment. Most times newer commenters have to be approved. That is where a mod or the author will see the link.
But you bring up a good idea. We can gamify the promotion of blank. This is something that we can push hard.

Can anyone recommend their favorite VPN?

Thanks for the input, I will check it out tomorrow when I get time!

Is anyone surprised the banks are making money while people are suffering? I guess they knew the energy sector would boom way earlier. I wonder if they predicted the Texas storm.

I am kicking myself. I was going to go into USO when the future went negative last April or May and didnt like a fool. I figure oil would rebound like a super ball.
Instead I didnt pull the trigger and missed a great opportunity. I wont even look at the chart. LOL
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I didn't pull the trigger either on Oil and I personally thought the energy sector would drop. However I didn't expect the entire debacle about Texas and the destruction of the key-stone pipeline to increase the prices so much.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No I didnt either but the rise was in place before either of those events.
With Biden in office doing all he can to kill the economy, the price of oil going through the roof will do just that.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Opportunities come and go ... I know what that feeling is like, but luckily we will always have our doors open.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Don't fill sorry, crypto is better. :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Always hahaha ... but I see it as a good strategy to diversify your investments and maybe in the middle of the year I can start to see other sources of income outside the cryptoverse.
The results and gains have no comparison with what we profit here, but it is good to have something out there.
But I can see in the future that people can live with only cryptocurrencies.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Tokenization is going to give us a lot of opportunities.
I agree there will be a time, not too far in the future (say 5 years), where a lot of people live solely on crypto.
Plus by then, the early adopters will likely have amassed enormous wealth.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I also believe and hope for that day to come!
I really want to take that trip to the space hotel LOL
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
6 years, according to Gateway's time line.
Will you have enough money in crypto then for the trip. I am sure it is going to cost a pretty penny to spend a few nights there.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, it's true, I understand that compared to the last 5 years. Remember how much was BTC, ETH or even XRP? Yes, they were worth much less and many who believed and held on became very wealthy today.
Who knows, this moment in which we live may be our turn to do so. 5 years from now if I don't achieve my financial independence, but at least I will be close to achieving it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well it was out o a retirement account which cant get into crypto, other than GBTC which I have a fair bit of.

Good old government to the rescue! I guess that's ok in this situation, of course, the banks found a way to make hundreds of millions!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Correction: billions.
You are short-changing the bankers.
As for the basic idea, privatize profits and socialize losses.
It is now the American way.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
and people say americans hate socialism :)))
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well they do hate bankers too so I guess they go hand in hand.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
hating bankers and loving loans, that's an unhealthy relationship if I ever saw one :))
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Actually for most people, their loans originate outside the traditional banking system.
The three biggest personal loans are mortgage, car and credit card.
More than half the mortgages are through FinTech, most car companies have their own financing arm and most credit card companies are on their own (years ago many were backed by GE..not sure these days).
In the US, what is called the "shadow banking" system is huge.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I forgot about that rule for the banksters, they are so sneaky when it comes to that!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea. The government only needs to give the banks more money while making the citizens of Texas pay ridiculous energy bills. They didn't even use those funds to ensure people got a fair price but the marked up price.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Banks have always been like that, they never think about losing and in fact we are the losers.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yep. They even have no problem dipping into people's accounts.
They are good for that at times here in the states.
I dont know how anyone still uses Wells Fargo.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Perhaps it is because of ignorance and that is why they still use it.
People get so used to even little that they don't care or bother about it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No, I'm not surprised. This is going on for years, for as long as I know, why would it be different now with this occasion?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Is anyone else experiencing more issues than normal with images on posts?
I don't know if it's just that I started to use them more and I'm only now noticing the issues or if it's really more common lately. Sometimes they just won't show!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah there is an issue with that from last couple of days on LeoFinance . A workaround is go to peakd post the image and copy the link and paste it on LeoFinance .
It was never an issue before but now there seems to be some bug.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Ahh thanks for letting me know and also for the workaround!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No problem today while posting the charts I didn't find any problem . Next time if the same thing happens to you on LeoFinance , just click right click on the image and click view image , it should open up another browser and it will show the error as to why image didn't load / upload . Let me or anyone else know what it is .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I have also noticed more issues on LeoFinance where images didn't load properly. I haven't seen it on other front-ends as much though.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I wonder if it has something to do with the ongoing projects...
It's not a major annoyance but I hope it gets fixed soon

In connection with the upcoming launch: here is a good app to track your assets - now on BinanceChain
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
@taskmaster, I have a proposal for you. Monday, after the tutorial is out, let's make this chat a place where people can ask for help, clarification. Discord is ok but after awhile it's difficult to find information.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's a great idea, I'm going to try to get out of work early or play hooky depending on what time this actually goes down. It could be delayed again so we will see! (soon)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Are you saying set up a different chat room for it?
I can do that after the announcement. This will be a repository where people can get info, a dedicated place for all to find the answers.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, a post dedicated exclusively to the airdrop/claimdrop to be easier to find info. It would be a great help. Thank you!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
We can do that. It will split things up but that isnt bad. I can put up an announcement about that tomorrow night so that people will know where to go.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Please do, I've just launched an invitation and will invite people one by one the next couple of days if I have to.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Great, it will be nice to have a place to do this, then when people ask questions later we can refer them to that post for frequently asked questions.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Exactly. A kind of repository for the new project. This will help to keep the information available.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Here is a terrific article on the situation with the US upper level education system and student debt.
I agree with this completely. People go deep into debt pursuing worthless degrees that they were "sold" were valuable. The universities are making bank on these kids, keep raising tuition, and have no accountability for what they are doing.
Of course, the buying public is too stupid to see it so they just keep embarking upon the college experience thinking they will be able to pay off a hundred grand in debt with an Ancient Irish Poetry degree.
Maybe instead of messing with Crypto, the SEC should step in here and nail these colleges, even if it isnt their jurisdiction.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/canceling-student-debt-is-10-000-too-much-or-not-enough-11614728696
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I do think they need to figure out what's wrong with the education system. A degree now is not the same as the degree 20-30 years ago. The pool of people working keeps increasing while there are not enough job positions available.
They are getting government money, corporations and millionaire investments so is the cost of the degree reasonable?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
As a student myself, I concur. I know of so many students who took out loans and failed to graduate due to the fact they were working and being pressured to take too many classes per semester by their academic advisors.
One kid was working 40 hours a week, playing 50 hours of video games and attending five classes. I told him it was too much and asked: "when do you sleep?" He ended up flunking out.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
What are most of the kids you know majoring in?
What do they think they are going to do with those degrees?
Granted it was a long time since I was in school but the way I see it, most are majoring in bullshit that will never amount to a solid career.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The ones that flunked out or dropped out, had been convinced to choose business management and accounting, despite many having no real interest in it.
Turns out, one of the main advisors had girlfriends in the business division and would help her friends out by steering students their way.
She would also pressure them to take many more classes per semester than they should, which caused many to fail.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I know how it is, here in Brazil you must have at least one college to try something that adds you financially, because as the minimum wage is practically nothing, at least having a higher degree can help you to have a less worse salary.
But the problem is that many who graduate and receive their diploma do not enter the job market directly, there are few cases that this happens and in luck. Thus, that university student who spent years studying leaves without a job and with a beautiful debt the size of the world.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Here is a quote from the article:
Yeah they definitely should.
Sleepy Joe will never do it but that is exactly what they should do.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Now that would be interesting to see! And they should have data from several years so students can see whats the trend of the financial returns for the majors
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
They will never reveal it because it will show how the upper level education system in the United States is a fraud and that the universities kept pushing majors that it knew did not equate to good paying jobs.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's probably the case regarding private education all over the world.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It isnt private. Much of this comes from public universities.
They are all doling out worthless degrees unfortunately, and huge amounts of student debt.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh, I said that because I work in the private education industry and it's the same deal. Sorry for not making it clear.
But yes, it's even worse when it's in the public sector because it's funded with tax payer's money
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Joe Biden will not regulate the universities. They know that they are one of their most ardent supporters. The system just keeps feeding itself and they are using everything they can as an advantage. I think Joe Biden would rather remove all student debt than regulate the universities.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Without a doubt. He is a puppet anyway, similar (if not worse) than Bush 2. Biden is as much President right now as I am. Someone else is pulling the strings.
You are right that is a feeder system for them. If kids were smart, which they are not, unless they are going for STEM, accounting, or something like that, skip the entire college fiasco. It is nothing more than a place to party and rack up debt. Thinking these useless degrees will get you a decent job is foolhardy.

This whole college thing pisses me off, what about the people that worked their way through it and went to community colleges so they wouldn't owe the government or anyone a pile of debt. They get burned for paying! At least they are better off for not having any debt, but dang it's not right!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is the biggest problem with this proposals. What about the one's who played by the rules, they got screwed.
The simplest way to handle this is to allow student debt to be bankrupted out. If one is overloaded with it, just file bankruptcy. Treat it like any other debt.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That really is the only way to solve the student loan problem. I'm for that but I would like to see some reform on the college situation at the same time so it doesn't repeat itself.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Of course but that isnt going to happen. Too many high paying jobs there who are funded with government money. The upper level education will only reform after it collapses. The way to do that is for the customers {kids) to start doing stuff online and businesses accepting that as a valid course of action.
If that happens, then the cushy college campuses will we without students.
Many are already sucking wind due to the lockdown and fears drilled into people. In the US, most universities depend upon foreign students, who are barred from basically entering the country at this point.
I hope hundreds of them collapse and fail. Will serve them right.

For those in LBI and who did not see the latest @lbi-token post. There is a "dreamy" road map put out. Rather loose but does provide some ideas that are out there.
Let us know what you think about this.

I see we are going to buy Teslas instead of Lambo's, I guess the times are changing. Honestly, I wouldn't mind having an older Vette myself.

In the not too distant future, people will ask:
Wen Tesla? Hahaha ... times will really change.
I also don't like to see myself in a car like Lambo or Tesla, I am very down to earth.

Lol so you mean whoever own Lambo or Tesla can never be down to earth ? ;p
Just joking , I don't see myself buying them either , I might invest the money into agriculture maybe.

I really like to travel and get to know new realities, new cultures and I believe that cryptocurrencies will make that dream come true one day.
Well, if you don’t have anyone to "get you" at home, traveling alone is also very good because we can do a lot that maybe with someone it wouldn’t be possible even hahaha ...

I wonder how much out bags will increase due to it. I personally think its nice if we could increase our base as compounding our gains only nets us more per month. Is the decision on what we are entering going to be made by the governance team, silverstackeruk or a vote by the holders?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am not sure. I think it was approved to go into the wLEO liquidity pool but that was nixed (thankfully because of the fees, the way Geyser is presently set up, and the opportunity for something bigger). I think moving to this is a better option since I think BSC is set to capture a lot of the present DeFi market because average users can operate. Who can operate with $50 fees?
Very few people.

I didn't know about LBI until now lol
Is that another community like LeoFinance?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No . The full form of LBI is Leo Backed Investment , I hope you got some idea what it is now . It is a dividend yielding token which pays you in LEO ( it hasn't started paying dividends yet because they are working on building a good foundation ) .
It is like SPI if you have come across it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I didn't know about SPI either. But thanks! It's clearer now
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well its one of the best dividend paying token on Hive ( comparable to BRO ) .

It appears that the intention of BSC is to decentralize. The one drawback to it at this point is that it is too centralized (from what I heard). However, this recent article appears to claim they are trying to move in the direction of decentralization.
Of course, we need to be careful. Binance (and CZ) like to talk decentralization but they end up doing the reverse, just like Sunny Boi.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Until I see the action that supports it, I don't believe it. Remember all the time Twitter and etc talked about decentralization and did it ever happen?
No they didn't. I'll believe it when they take actions to prove it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Then there is the KYC problem too, if that's the case I'm not going to touch it at all. This is what brought me to Hive and Leo Finance in the first place.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Binance and BSC are two different things. Binance is an exchange, BSC a chain like EThereum. How you enter BSC can be through many different doors. I dont know what they are but I believe Metamask will tie into it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I figured out how to tie it into metamask, still trying to figure out why my Exodes don't think it's a good address, but it's a start anyway!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I haven't even created a metamask account and the entire issue doesn't even make me want to touch it. Anything the government touches becomes shit.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You are further than me. LOL
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is true. Although Hive-Engine pulled the same stunt and finally decentralized.
And I will say there is a difference between blockchain and twitter. I didnt believe twitter from the start since I know the business model will not allow it. They cannot suddenly decentralize and cut out Wall Street. Isnt going to happen.
With BSC, they can move to have more nodes running the chain just like Ethereum did.
But as you said, blog posts take little; the proof is in the action.

What do you know about Miners on Hive ? Do you hold some ?
If you are new to concept of Miners and want to know about it , hit me with questions I will answer them.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I bought some after my recent issues so that I can stay in the game in case something happened in the future such as when I had to give up my internet access. Got some CTPM, VIBESM, LEOM and LEOMM miners. But you really do need a lot to see a nice return.
That's why it's best to get in early when the prices are low. The other thing is to keep buying bit by bit, so as not to fall too far behind. Since I'm not one of the big players here and don't attract the big upvotes, I combine that with delegating to leo.voter etc. which helps me add to my LEO stack.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I guess I had a WORKERBEE but I delegated it to a pool to get a consistent return. Also I bought a INCOME token recently for the small chance I get some HIVE. Besides that, I don't have any other miners.
I know it's a lottery but having just one or two of a miner doesn't get you much of a chance to get the tokens.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh yeah same here , I guess WORKERBEE is the only miner which has delegation enabled and I have delegated that to ph-ctp to get returns .
I don't know about INCOME token , is it a buy and hold like LBI , SPI , DHEDGE?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It's basically a gamble. Once a person wins once, they are taken off the list for the day. There was a post about it around 2 weeks ago below. It was fairly cheap and I don't think it will lose too much value.

I always am fond of these kind of tokens lol . Anything that has probability associated with it in big way is always good for analysis . Thanks for sharing it , I will check it out and buy some .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I think some people split the tokens among their alts. Because once you win, the rest of the miners won't pick you for that day.

I am not huge into them. I have some for ARCHON which are now worth a tidy sum.
I will say BROfund goes heavily into miners and did very well with them. From what I understand, you need a lot of them to really get the payout. I had some for PAL and dumped them. It was only a small handful.
I guess over time they provide a decent return but I think there are better ways of going about things unless you are going to be buy a ton of them.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's the popular opinion but it isn't actually true . You buy 1 LEOM the breakeven is same when compared to 10 LEOM . It most certainly is a long term investment ( 1.5-2 years ) .
But one thing which we should keep in mind is - having large amount of miners is beneficial because of the compounding effect. Although the breakeven is same if we stake the LEO or other tokens mined , we will earn more from curation.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Ah okay. I stand corrected.
I thought that they were a lottery type system on the payouts meaning that larger miner holders had a better chance than ones who had less. Like buying more in a 50/50 raffle.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It is actually like that . You can see brofund getting mining_rewards every single hour and some other small token holders get once in a month ( not exaggerating ) but over long time the probability will play its part and the breakeven is same for everyone irrespective of small or large holdings.

I ran into the same issue when posting on DBuzz. Image wouldn't load so I went to PeakD and copied the link over lol.
The trick is to upload the image on PeakD then copy that link into LeoFinance and the image should load correctly. I think it's a problem when their uploading the images if DBuzz is also running into the issue.

I think it is a positive. If a CDBC happens, people will have a greater acceptance of crypto because it would be telling the old guys that digital currency is the future.
However I do think it may cause a crack-down on existing cryptos for a while because they need to promote their CDBC. So until it has proven itself, I see some of those centralized cryptos to take a hit.

There are alot of good investments tokens. INDEX is nice because CTP is building their DCity right now so I fully expect a decent SIM payout in the future. I am not sure if he has used all his original SIM. I personally think UTOPIS is looking nice since they plan to send out SWAP.ETH soon.
